At times it can feel like the only way to get what you want (more clients, more time with family, more laughter, more connection, more money) is to spend money, but it really isn't the only way.

In fact, if none of them work after trying them for 60 days then you get your money back. Full refund contingent upon watching the full video ;-)

Actors and musicians have long been at the mercy of the relationships the build in the industry. While news cycles are quick to cover the 2023 SAG and WGA strikes, non-union artists have been preyed on by producers for decades. Get Real with Rae as she takes a look at a poopy contract and has a bit of an ah hah moment. Is this thing even legal?

Some people swear by checklist, while others cry, "Abandon yee checklist, and go with the flow." I recently noticed the my list of urgent tasks had grown a bit longer than I was comfortable with. I had also given in to chilling with a little t.v. before bed the night before. In fact, though I was no longer watching YouTube videos before bed (should you be asleep right now), I was starting to lean into the whole, "I deserve a break, I should be able to watch one or two shows." So as proud as I was of finishing the recording of 3 different on demand programs in a 3 month period, 2 of them still needed some small edits and that was on top of the other 15 things that need to be done this week. So, am I good stewart of my time, or just completely delusional? Am I over doing it or just looking for an excuse to stay in a constant state of stress.

Well, let's just say, this video started one way, then quickly went in a different direction. So how about you? Have you done your first quarter review yet?

Ever notice how in the U.S. we praise celebrities for posing on the red carpet and "slaying," how we tell friends they look "hot," but the moment those same people say, "I look good," the general consensus is that is a big no-no. Seriously, unless you identify as a member of a marginalized group that isn't conventionally attractive, then you are vain for even daring to utter your own perceived value. But what if being just a little bit more vain could make you happier? Whether you're running your own business or just running around at work for someone else, vanity may be the necessary evil you didn't know you needed, so let's talk about it.

Why is it that podcast I used to enjoy, seem to slowly be taken over by interviews with people in their 20's and 30's talking about how they've become millionaires doing and that it's so simple even your non tech savvy grandpa can do it. In fact, with some go-getter, don't stop attitude, you too can have your cake and eat it to. Or can you? Does living the good life, or at least a life where you aren't working on your business 24/7 only materialize if you are tech savvy, or in your 20's, or in your 30's or drink on the ability to grind, remember you why, and be hungry? I don't know, so let's talk about it.

Seems like politicians and political commentators are flocking to the cameras to simply yell. It's a little strange seeing so many older people shouting about how the country is falling into disrepair because of their opponents wanton ways. Maybe in your own life, you're feeling angry and like the only way that you can be heard is by shouting. Maybe all that shouting is making you angry. Maybe you're just feeling angry, so let's talk about it.
